Texas Fashion Collection Inspires Students

Housed at the University of North Texas, the Texas Fashion Collection is a treasure trove of nearly 15,000 items, including men and women's clothing dating as far back as 1820 and including such labels as Givenchy, Todd Oldham, and more. The collection isn't open to the public -- though pieces do appear in exhibitions occasionally -- but designers and students can make appointments to view particular items. It's a fantastic way to view fashion history up close and personal which, in many cases, is very different from simply reading about it in a book or magazine:

"April Wilson, who will graduate this summer from UNT with a bachelor's degree in fashion design, said items displayed in her class helped make clear what the professor was talking about.

'When she brings it out you really can see the silhouette and construction details,' Wilson said. 'A lot of the dresses from the 1920s -- you didn't see the flare or pleating in the pictures.'"
